Lauren Clay

Lauren Clay is a contemporary American artist known for her colorful, abstract sculptures and installations. She was born in 1982 in Savannah, Georgia. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Georgia and a Master of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University. Clay’s work is characterized by its use of vibrant colors and organic forms, often incorporating repetitive patterns and geometric shapes.

Clay’s sculptures are created using a variety of materials, including paper, wood, and ceramics, and are often inspired by nature, particularly plant life and rock formations. She is interested in exploring the relationship between organic and inorganic materials, and her work often blurs the boundaries between the two.

In addition to her sculptures, Clay also creates large-scale installations that transform entire spaces. Her installations often incorporate geometric shapes and bright colors, creating immersive environments that engage the viewer’s senses. Her work has been praised for its bold use of color and form and its ability to create an atmosphere of playfulness and joy.
